TAILGATING
The First Tennessee Pavilion is the headquarters for all tailgating at UTC football games. However, fans are encouraged to tailgate in any lot around the stadium. If you are interested in purchasing a space inside the First Tennessee Pavilion, click here. Otherwise, enjoying tailgating where ever you park around Finley Stadium.

Remember, just because you don't have a space in the First Tennessee Pavilion, doesn't mean you can't come join the fun. There are bounce houses, face-painting, games for the kids, big screen TVs and lots of great activities for fans of all ages in and around the First Tennessee Pavilion.

Be sure to be there for the 'Moc Walk' that takes place two-and-a-half hours prior to kickoff. Head Coach Rusty Wright leads the team through the First Tennessee Pavilion and down to the field. Be there to get the team fired up for the game.
